Comment (by goldfire):

 Hrm. Maybe I was too quick to say that any bleating from core-lint meant
 we have a GHC bug. I've never been comfortable with this sort of check,
 really. I advocate dropping the check... or finding a way to suppress the
 warning.

 Simon, this comes from #9122, where you wanted to institute this sorts of
 checks. The problem is that there's no way of getting rid of the warning
 (while keeping the more important `-dcore-lint` checks enabled).
